Essential reading for anyone interested in holistic health, psychology and the relation between the two. " Life Energy should appeal to anyone who wishes to enjoy life more and to gain greater control over their emotions so that they can maximize not only their own sense of well-being, but also their relations with those around them." -- Lois Henderson, BookPleasures.com "I highly recommend this book to my seminar participants to assist them in helping others as well as themselves ... [it] has surely helped many people resolve psychological issues. Diamond's work has also inspired a radical shift in the way we understand psychological health and treatment." -- Fred P. Gallo Ph.D., author of Energy Tapping Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive explanation of how to unlock the hidden power within every one of us. This power, our LIFE ENERGY , determines our mental and physical states -- and Dr. John Diamond shows how to unleash this energy. You can use LIFE ENERGY to: Lead a more productive, creative, and happy life - Achieve your full potential - Deal positively with mental and physical stress - Reduce negative emotional states (hatred, anger, jealousy etc.) and increase positive emotions (love, faith, courage etc.) - Prevent and overcome illness and maintain good health - Look younger as you learn to erase the lines of self-doubt and unhappiness from your face Dr. Diamond's discovery of how to release LIFE ENERGY is based on the twelve acupuncture meridians, each of which relates to a specific emotional state. Using the simple muscle test described in this book, you can assess these emotional states in yourself or anyone else. Then, by practising a short daily meditational program, you will keep your emotions and meridians balanced so that you achieve maximum LIFE ENERGY and enjoy mental and physical well-being and harmony every day of your life.
